Description

If you're loading 6.5 Grendel and want real control over your brass, this L.E. Wilson bushing full length die gives you the kind of precision that usually belongs on a benchrest bench. In one pass it sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder back for correct headspace, and deprimes the case. The magic is the interchangeable bushing system: instead of leaning on an expander ball to set neck tension, you drop in whichever bushing matches the grip you want on the bullet. That means less brass working, straighter necks, and cases that keep going reload after reload.

What Sets This 6.5 Grendel Die Apart

This is the bushing-type design, so there's no expander ball dragging through the neck on the way out. You pick your bushing based on your brass thickness and the neck tension you're after, which lets you fine-tune a load the way the serious precision crowd does. One detail worth knowing: these dies leave roughly 3/16" at the base of the neck unsized, mimicking Wilson's neck sizing dies. A lot of reloaders find that approach runs more accurate than sizing the whole neck.

Build Quality You Can Feel

L.E. Wilson doesn't cut corners here. The die is machined from high quality steel hardened to their own spec, which runs harder than a Grade 8 bolt, and it uses stainless parts so the finish holds up over years of use. It threads into any standard 7/8"-14 reloading press, and it ships with an adjustable depth decapping rod plus a spare decapping punch. Made in the U.S.A.

Getting the Most Out of It

To really nail your setup, pair this die with an L.E. Wilson 6.5 Grendel case gage. The gage lets you measure your shoulder bump precisely so you don't overwork the brass and so your rounds chamber smooth. Keep in mind the bushings are sold separately. Wilson's own neck bushings are the natural match, though Redding bushings will fit if that's what you've got on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 6.5 Grendel bushing full length die come with bushings?

No, bushings are sold separately so you can choose the exact neck tension your load calls for. L.E. Wilson neck bushings are the recommended match, but Redding bushings will also fit this die. Pick your bushing size based on your brass neck thickness and the bullet grip you want.

Will this die work in my regular reloading press?

Yes. It's threaded for a standard 7/8"-14 reloading press, so it screws right into common presses like a Rock Chucker or similar. No arbor press is required for this particular die.

What does the die actually do in one stroke?

It sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder back to set correct headspace, sizes the neck to your chosen bushing for neck tension, and deprimes the case. Because it uses a bushing instead of an expander ball, it works the brass less and helps your cases last longer. For best results, set your shoulder bump using an L.E. Wilson case gage.

Why does this die leave part of the neck unsized?

The design leaves about 3/16" at the base of the neck unsized, which mimics Wilson's neck sizing dies. Many reloaders find this approach delivers better accuracy than sizing the full neck. It helps keep the bullet aligned and reduces overworking the brass.
